I’ve been mixing shea butter and oils for a while and while this recipe is simple and easy, the shelf life is incorrect.
This will last a lot longer than 2 weeks. Shea butter and coconut oil are shelf stable and since you’re not adding water, expect this to last for months!
Hi SaraK! Thanks for your tip 🙂 I tend to keep it on the safe side because Singapore is so wet and hot. But you’re right – as long as you use clean fingers – this can definitely last for months! 🙂
That blender is the cutest thing ever! May I know where we can get one?
Hi Stephanie! Thanks – it’s so old. I’m not even sure they make it anymore! 🙂
Locally, I have seen Shea Butter available at http://store.thediysecrets.com/shop/raw-shea-butter/
CAN I USE COCOA BUTTER INSTEAD OF THE SHEA BUTTER FOR THIS RECIPE
Hi Lenore! Yes – that would be scrummy! let me know how it turns out 🙂

Hi Militza
I am just wondering where in Singapore I could purchase shea butter?
I would like to try this recipe on my sons eczema and would love it if I didn’t have to wait for shea butter to be shipped.
Kindest regards
Donna 🙂
Hi Donna,
I haven’t seen it in Singapore – I’m always searching – I have found coco butter, which you can use as well but you’ll have to melt it first, as it’s way too hard to blend straight away. Melt it, then let it cool in the fridge until it gets semi-soid, but still soft and then blend it with the oil.
They sell coco butter at Real Food and B-I-Y. That said – if you order shea butter from iHerb, it comes within 1 week – it’s really fast!

hope that helps!
